Running Blind Motors in Series #23

Closed lithium-ap closed 4 years ago

lithium-ap commented 4 years ago

What is the best path for wiring the stepper motors in series. I would like to power the nodemcu and stepper driver from PoE with the least amount of parts. Can the stepper drive be used across 2-3 blind motors? Can one stepper driver be used to power two motors effectively?

I used 1 stepper driver per motor and have the stepper for each motor up in the blinds.

You should have a stepper for each motor, you can run many drivers in parallel from a single nodemcu.
